- Switch53, on 04/22/2009, -1/+23well as long it doesn't take a completely different direction than the game and isn't hacked to pieces it'll be SWEET! i mean its pretty sad when a few students with some spare time can make a short that's a better game to movie adaptation than the crap Hollywood tries to sell us.
- Kordras, on 04/22/2009, -1/+21Dear Hollywood,
DON'T ***** THIS UP. - jman583, on 04/22/2009, -0/+19Hollywood... Hollywood never changes...
- JonTheGoose, on 04/22/2009, -0/+15I'll show you a real tunnel snake Amata.
- TheGreatZarquon, on 04/22/2009, -2/+16This will either be a good movie that appeals to a general audience but leaves diehard fans going "wtf is this *****?", or it will be a faithful adaption that leaves the diehards going "holy ***** that ruled", but will be a box office failure.
Given these possible outcomes, I'm hoping for the box office failure. - _Caboose_, on 04/22/2009, -0/+12From http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=1113
Shack: You guys trademarked the Fallout name for movies and television recently. Was that related to a specific project, or..?
Pete Hines: That's more part of, we spent a lot of time developing Fallout into something that is very hot. It has a lot of people's interest--
Shack: So you're just protecting it.
Pete Hines: --and we just want to be make sure that we're protecting what we created. And I can tell you, we've gotten a ton of interest about those kinds of things, not just with Fallout, but over the years. And it was just a, "Let's make sure that we're protecting what is ours and not letting somebody else do anything with it." So it's more of that, and it is not in response to any specific project or initiative or anything in particular.
So no movie is confirmed. - lsloany, on 04/22/2009, -0/+12You forgot box office failure that appeals to no one, see Max Payne or Doom for references.

- Krumm, on 04/22/2009, -0/+8It contains mini-nukes you can carry about, and every car explodes when you shoot it.... Michael Bay is already changing his pants...
- jman583, on 04/22/2009, -0/+7I would say New Jersey, but Fallout takes place in a distopian post-nuclear world, not a land fill.
- AmazingSteve, on 04/22/2009, -0/+7That's like saying "I want a hot poker stuck in my eye."
- swicepick, on 04/22/2009, -0/+7PLEASE STAND BY

- Duskraven, on 04/22/2009, -0/+6But Mad Max already came out.

- benroy, on 04/22/2009, -2/+6*then*
- cyberdash, on 04/22/2009, -0/+4I would watch this, although it couldn't be the same as the game experience.
I'd want a ticket refund if megaton wasn't a glassed crater of smoldering ash by the end of the movie. - whatthefu, on 04/22/2009, -0/+4I think the story works infinitely better as a video game, because the player interacts with the environment and shapes their own character. I don't think it'd work as a movie at all.
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -1/+4I just have to say, I think I would kill myself if this happened.
I hate you bethesda, so much.. - ChinaLumberjack, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3Number of films based on video games: 46

Fallout's odds ain't good
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_o ... - norman619, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3No it's going to be horrible. Not all games lend themselves to live action films. Fallout is one of those. It's a great video game. It's going to be one hella corny movie.
- hexappeal, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3Personally I think if this was done right it could be phenomenal, the beauty of the Fallout games is the rich storylines, pitch black humour and ultra violence, it would take some incredible asshattery to destroy Fallout on the big screen.
- inactive, on 04/21/2009, -8/+11if Mr. Bean can work than Fallout can
- Treason, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3That's damn near impossible nowadays...
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3Starring THE ROCK!
- snapcase, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck. Please don't suck....
- jezsik, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3SOMEtimes? I never played Resident Evil, but I'll have to say that the movie was actually bad. I only put up with it for Milla Jovovich.
- Dumbledorito, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3Um... I suppose "The Road" could be mistaken for "Fallout," apart from the complete lack of vaults, mutants, weapons (energy and conventional), raiders, 50's aesthetic, robots, pre-apocalypse cabals, radscorpions, ghouls, brahmins, crashed alien spaceships, and Harold.
But yeah, other than that, pretty spot on. - TechnoRabbit, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3Moo?
As in cows? - falstaff, on 04/22/2009, -0/+3Produced by Disney, rated PG.
- VelvetoneFusion, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2Hey...not EVERY car
.....just the ones with engines... - spaceaudi0, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2cool. post-apocalyptic movies are always interesting to see.
- SmackAttack42, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2i'm scared :(
- DAC1138, on 04/22/2009, -3/+5American Mr. Bean movie or the british "Mr. Bean's Holiday"?
It's all moo, because both rocked! - deathcapt, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2To do this correctly, would be very very difficult. The usual problem wit game movies, is that games have really really long plots, like most books. Especially ones like fallout. They have a unique setting, which is much harder to convey than say "New York" which can be established by a wide shot of the Statue of liberty or something. I say fallout would make a much better mini series or television show than a movie. Television series tend to have low budgets which can be worked around, while mini series tend to have movie style budgets, while allowing you to have the runtime of a series. If you look at Fallout 3's 40+ hours of game play, there's virtually 0 grinding, there's very little repetition, and there's very little that wouldn't make sense to put into a movie. Sure you would obviously have to shorten a lot of the exploration sequences, but the exploration is really what made fallout so good. I could even see it play out around a single time frame, but be shown from several different character's perspectives. In my mind the ideal mini series would be basically exactly like the game, each episode would be one of the main quests. Skip the some of the cliche game stuff, like the survival guide and the complex trading/ leveling system. I think it has so much potential. But it's going to be very difficult to pull off.
It basically should be Jericho with mutants and power armor. - javy925, on 04/22/2009, -6/+8please hollywood, stop turning video games into movies :(
- Dark2Light, on 04/22/2009, -1/+3Read 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, pretty close to the idea of Fallout. Already being made into a movie coming out in October.

And @canudiggit123:
I thought it was dumb until I saw the last frame. That made up for everything. - KnightRicer, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2Hey the first Mortal Kombat was pretty awesome when I was 11, and the soundtrack was great too.
- Samohtneas, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2I'm pretty sure Liberty Prime would be the most BA thing to grace the screen in years.

:D - TheKitchenSinkX, on 04/22/2009, -1/+3Comment of the day ^
- norman619, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2I love the game but sorry it'd make for one really corny movie full of all kinds of clichés. Not all games make good movies.
- tinkafoo, on 04/22/2009, -0/+2don't be Uwe Boll, don't be Uwe Boll, don't be Uwe Boll...
- inactive, on 04/22/2009, -2/+4I don't think you should be /s.
Lets face it, yeah he makes mainstream blockbuster movies. So? Is Fallout supposed to be a deep, complex insight into the mind of a man in a post apocalyptic world? ***** no. It's supposed to be epic and have crazy futuristic props and high budget actors.
Michael Bay doesn't "***** up" movies, just turns them into Americanized blockbusters. Isn't that what made Hollywood big in the first place?
I love deep, complex, well acted and well edited movies too. But without cinematic roller coasters of awesomeness, there is no Hollywood culture. And that's why I loved Transformers. Yeah the ending is cheesy, but face it - you felt the awesomeness when leaving the theater. -
